* The birthday variation also happens in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'', where Jimmy [[HypnoFool hypnotizes his parents]] into thinking his birthday is tomorrow, so he can get a new chemistry set as a present. After a week or so of birthdays, his parents think he's an adult and expect him to move out.

* The first story of ''WesternAnimation/MickeysOnceUponAChristmas'' is "Donald Duck Stuck On Christmas" which was inspired by the "Christmas Every Day" short story. It involves Huey, Dewey and Louie wishing upon a star for Christmas to be every day. At first they enjoy it, only to discover it's not just Christmas every day, [[GroundhogDayLoop but the ''exact'' same day even down to their presents from the previous day getting wrapped up again]]. After getting fed-up they try to ruin Christmas to put an end to it. However they then notice a card from Donald and Daisy explaining the true meaning of Christmas in being about family rather than presents, to which the boys embrace the Christmas spirit and help everyone else enjoy Christmas, and the time loop ends.

The reason for the repeats varies -- a character who [[TheAntiGrinch really loves Christmas]] might wish that every day is Christmas Day, and it somehow comes true. In these cases, the entire cast might feel the holiday repeating. Alternatively, a GroundhogDayLoop resets to teach a character a lesson, often the TrueMeaningOfChristmas or AnAesop about valuing friends and family during the holiday season. This variation will usually have only the protagonist (who, by contrast, [[TheGrinch dislikes Christmas]]) be aware of the resets. Either plot will also center around trying to find a way to break the loop.

* In the [[https://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/2021/12/25/if-every-day-was-like-christmas/ Christmas 2021]] strip of ''Webcomic/{{Housepets}}'', King demands to know how it can be Christmas already, and is reminded that the characters are currently in Heaven, and it can be Christmas whenever they want. He questions whether Christmas ''means'' anything without the anticipation, and is told he can have ''that'' whenever he wants as well. And if he's not comfortable with ''that'', he can have someone ''else'' make the decision. So he worries that he'll accidentally give this hypothetical person too much power over him.

* The first Christmas special of ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' is titled "[[Recap/TheFairlyOddParentsS1E13ChristmasEveryDay Christmas Every Day!]]" and shares this premise when Timmy wishes for every day to be Christmas. However, the plot goes in a different direction: it isn’t a TimeLoop, time just stops moving forward, so every day is December 25. The consequences come quickly: snow piles up everywhere; the banks, stores, and schools stay closed; Santa begins running out of ideas for gifts, being obligated to continue giving kids whatever they ask for; the elves go on strike from the increased workload; and eventually, all the other holiday mascots try getting rid of Santa to reclaim their holidays. Worst of all, Timmy can’t undo his wish, as the entire population of fairies lends most of their magic to Santa Claus every Christmas so he can deliver gifts to the whole world. When the wish is finally undone by asking Santa for December 26, it’s added to the list of banned wishes in 'Da Rules', Cosmo and Wanda noting that a person has to ''really'' [[ObviousRulePatch screw up to merit that kind of response]].

* The TropeNamer and likely TropeMaker is an 1892 short story by William Dean Howells titled [[https://www.gutenberg.org/files/22519/22519-h/22519-h.htm#CHRISTMAS_EVERY_DAY "Christmas Every Day"]], where a greedy little girl asks the Christmas Fairy for...well, Christmas every day. The Fairy agrees to a trial run of one year of Christmases. HilarityEnsues. Everyone gets sick of Christmas pretty quickly, and it takes a turn into BlackComedy when you hear about the widespread poverty (from everyone being forced to spend their money on presents) and the massive deforestation (for Christmas trees) and the psychological effects on the little girl herself.

* In ''Literature/RedDwarf: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers'', the final section involves the Dwarfers arriving back on Earth, with Lister retiring to a town called Bedford Falls, which he's amazed to discover is exactly like Bedford Falls in ''Film/ItsAWonderfulLife''. As time passes, however, he begins to notice some things about his new life don't make sense, including the fact it's been Christmas Eve every day since he got there.

* The experiments in [=CryptoSanta=] by ''Music/LemonDemon'' were trying to open other dimensions filled with presents in order to bring about Christmas every day. Though it's implied they'd be sold rather than given.

* Under the Commonwealth, in Britain, after the overthrowing of Charles II, Puritan banned Christmas as a "Pagan celebration", causing protests, with rioters in Canterbury taking over for two weeks, decorating the city with holly.

* The subject of Music/{{Sia}}'s song "Everyday Is Christmas".

* Music/KennyRogers: His 1981 holiday album ''Christmas'' has a track "Christmas Everyday." This is more of a positive, religious example, as the lyrics challenge the listener to remember the story of Jesus' birth, keep the spirit of the season in their heart, and follow His word every day (thus, celebrate "Christmas every day") rather than just in late December.

* The Christmas episode of ''WesternAnimation/Ben10'' deals with the Tennysons having to save a village that's been stuck in Christmas since 1932 thanks to a curse placed on them by the inventor Mr. Thomas Jingles. Said curse also turns Ben and Gwen into elves and Grandpa Max into Santa Claus.
